Toshiba NB205 has a boot up BIOS password and that was not there before. How do I reset that or clear the password? Thanks.

I can't find a decent manual for your laptop but there will be 2 pins on the motherboard that will say BIOS Clear. Short these 2 pins and turn the computer on. This is the only way to bypass the BIOS password. This operation will clear the BIOS and reset to factory defaults. After the BIOS is cleared, turn the computer off and take off the short.

The easiest way to reset bios password is to turn off the laptop completely and unplug it from the power outlet, open the bottom panel of your laptop, locate the CMOS battery and remove it for a minute and put it back in.

If it is a BIOS password and you didnt put it there then the only way I know of to get rid of it is to reset the pass word by removing the CMOS battery under the cover

Hi

Not sure if this is anygood but spotted it today

Most Toshiba laptops and some desktop systems will bypass the BIOS password if the left shift key is held down during boot.
Or try default password Toshiba
Good luck

Here's how to reset password

Resetting a Toshiba BIOS Password KeyDisk will reset the BIOS password on Toshiba laptops.
Older Toshiba laptops can be convinced to boot without their power-on BIOS password by attaching a dongle to the parallel port which crosses a number of the pins. The pin out is:
Pins 1-5-10 2-11 3-17 4-12 6-16 7-13 8-14 9-15 Some Toshiba's can be convinced to bypass the startup BIOS password if you hold down the <LEFT-SHIFT> key while booting the system.

remove battery.....wait for 3 minutes....put it back and turn on...the bios wii get reset.....

if it still didnt got reset, then you need to remove cmos battery in the board by removing the back cover....

There is a jumper that will clear the BIOS password on most of the newer Toshiba laptops such as this model. Here is a link to an article showing where the jumpers are located on various models of Toshiba laptops.
